Literature, in its widest sense, embraces                   all compositions in writing or print which preserve                   the results of observation, thought, or fancy; but                   those upon the positive sciences (mathematics, etc.)                   are usually excluded. It is often confined, however,                   to belles-lettres, or works of taste and sentiment, as                   poetry, eloquence, history, etc., excluding abstract                   discussions and mere erudition. A man of literature                   (in this narrowest sense) is one who is versed in                   belles-lettres; a man of learning excels in what is                   taught in the schools, and has a wide extent of                   knowledge, especially, in respect to the past; a man                   of erudition is one who is skilled in the more                   recondite branches of learned inquiry.                               The origin of all positive science and                            philosophy, as well as of all literature and                            art, in the forms in which they exist in                            civilized Europe, must be traced to the Greeks.                                                                               --Sir G.                                                                               Lewis.                               Learning thy talent is, but mine is sense.                                                                               --Prior.                               Some gentlemen, abounding in their university                            erudition, fill their sermons with philosophical                            terms.                                          --Swift.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
literature          The literature.   Computer-science journals and other       publications, vaguely gestured at to answer a question that       the speaker believes is trivial.   Thus, one might answer an       annoying question by saying "It's in the literature."   Oppose       {Knuth}, which has no connotation of triviality.          (1994-11-04)
